The earth and stone puppet speaks very slowly, and seems to pause before speaking, as if he wants to think about it first.
This made Yang Junshan a little stunned. Compared with the young boy who was so alert and almost no different from a normal person, the performance of the boy in front of him was really poor.
The boy who was throwing a mulberry up high and then easily caught it with his mouth seemed to understand what Yang Junshan was thinking. While chewing the delicious mulberry, he smiled and said: "As long as you throw those two colorless crystal stones
Leave it to the old man, and he will speak and do things much more efficiently. Don't underestimate the old man, this guy is quite capable, although he is a little bit worse than this boy."
After hearing this, Yang Junshan took out the two colorless crystals, one large and one small, which he had obtained from the ancestor of the Tao realm stone demon Mo Ling, and said: "Think of it, the boy is already the same as the thick soil, well, thick
Fellow Taoist Taoist has already said it, so I won’t say anything more. If fellow Taoist accepts employment and works for me, then I will naturally offer you these two crystal stones.”
The moment the earth and stone puppet saw the colorless crystal, Yang Junshan clearly saw that the huge stone head of the earth and stone puppet collapsed due to excessive twisting. The "crack, bang, bang, bang" sound even made Yang Junshan
It felt like his whole head was about to burst, but when the two stone bead-like eyes turned, they could actually emit light like bright pearls in the night.
"Accept it, but count the time!"
A dry sound like the friction of sand and stone came from the mouth of the earth and stone puppet.
The reception boy on the side was eating happily, and his lips were dyed purple by the mulberry juice. Hearing this, he said: "I won't come if I don't want to, but since I want to accept employment, there must be a time limit.
After all, Tu is a member of the Immortal Palace, so he can't just steal a Taoist puppet with two crystal stones."
Yang Junshan nodded, thought for a while but did not ask about the hiring time, but asked: "Then how long can these two crystal stones support the normal actions of fellow Taoist Houtu?"
There were more mulberries in the boy's mouth, which made him speak a little slower. The thick-earth puppet next to him already said slowly: "Two-hundred-years!"
The lead boy hurriedly swallowed what was in his mouth, but it was too late to stop the thick soil puppet from telling the truth, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Yang Junshan, who was on the sidelines, already understood and said: "Then, fellow Taoist, I will work for you for a hundred years, how about that?"
"Twenty-ten years!" the thick-earth puppet said slowly.
"Only accepting employment for twenty years?"
Yang Junshan frowned, and saw that the thick soil puppet nodded too much, its chin directly hit the collarbone, and knocked down a piece of stone debris, saying: "Twenty years is too short, no matter what, I have something in my hands."
But it is able to maintain Taoist friends for two hundred years, but Taoist friends are lacking in sincerity."
The neck of the thick earth puppet "squeaked" and twisted to lead the boy, saying: "He said it, listen to him, me!"
Yang Junshan's eyes were fixed on the mulberry in the hands of the boy, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, eating other people's fruits is the shortest, not to mention that he was eating other people's fruits and scheming with his companions. This was somewhat unjustifiable.
I don't know if this puppet body knows how to be embarrassed. He smiled "hehe", turned the mulberry in his hand and disappeared, and said: "Don't blame this short time, although the two things you provided can make me happy."
The soil lasts for two hundred years, but that is only under ideal conditions, but why do you hire the old soil? Once the old soil fights with others to protect you, he will be injured or damaged. Once this happens, the two hundred years of
Time will definitely shrink, and it will shrink significantly, not to mention that the old-fashioned people are at risk of falling completely."
After saying so much, the boy who received the invitation felt very embarrassed. He changed his tone and said, "Of course, this time is not non-negotiable. How about thirty years?"
Yang Junshan snorted coldly and said: "It's a small injury. As long as I can do it, I will naturally repair it for him. However, considering the risks involved, I will deduct twenty years for you. Fellow Taoist Houtu will do eight things for me."
Ten years is enough, and the extent of the concession I have is much more generous than that of you, my Taoist friend."
"Okay, okay, who told this boy to be greedy and eat your fruit, then fifty years can't be any less. After all, the old man is a creature of the fairy palace. Now that he is down and out, no one will notice, but he can't be saved.
It may be discovered someday, and the risk involved is not small, so please be considerate of me."
Jieyin Tongzi bargained with Yang Junshan, but the Houtu Puppet stood aside without saying a word, obviously agreeing with all the decisions made by Jieyin Tongzi, which made Yang Junshan understand that Jieyin Tongzi probably had a high status among their kind.
"Fifty years? Whatever, just fifty years!"
Yang Junshan secretly thought that exchanging two crystal stones for a Dao realm puppet to protect him for fifty years would not be a loss, but he still said: "But the ugly talk is ahead, how can you guarantee that you will abide by the agreement? If you leave early, or if you
When I encounter danger, if I apply oil on the soles of my feet, then I won’t have a chance to reason even if I want to.”
As soon as Yang Junshan finished speaking, without waiting for the boy to answer, the thick-earth puppet beside him suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud roar, and punched the ground with his fist. He seemed very excited.
"Don't be angry, I'll tell him, I'll tell him!"
The lead boy hurriedly stepped forward to appease the thick-earth puppet, then turned around and said seriously: "Don't worry, we are puppets, and we are born to follow our mission until death without regrets. Although you are just an employee, your old-fashioned mission will still be there.
It worked until his death."
Yang Junshan actually saw firmness in the eyes of the puppet body that led to the boy, so he nodded and said: "I believe it, and please forgive me for your previous words, because I didn't take the two of you seriously."
You are no longer a puppet, but think of yourself as a human being and a fellow Taoist."
The trace of dissatisfaction in the boy's eyes disappeared immediately. He turned back to the thick soil puppet and said: "This little guy is pretty good in general."
The two crystal stones in Yang Junshan's hand slowly flew towards the thick soil puppet.
Two spaces were split between the eyebrows and the chest of the thick soil puppet, and two colorless crystals were included in each. Then a large number of stone chips on the thick soil puppet's body began to peel off, and the originally rough body began to become much smoother.
The joints that were once stuck became freer, the movements became smoother, and the entire puppet's body seemed to have been reborn in an instant.
"good!"
A low voice came from the mouth of the thick earth puppet, and his speech was obviously much more coherent, but his speaking speed was still very slow: "I feel that my power is back!"
At this time, the thick earth puppet looks like a "person". Of course, it is still a stone "person", which is still very different from a real person. It is like a beautiful stone sculpture resurrected.
"Thanks!"
Houtu actually turned his head and said to Yang Junshan this time.
"You're welcome, it's just you and I each doing what we need."
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment, and then said.
The thick earth puppet nodded towards the boy and said, "Then, what should I do next? Follow you at all times?"
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to speak, the lead boy said first, "Lao Tu is too conspicuous. If you are sure there is no danger or Lao Tu can appear by your side in time, in the end, it is better not to let him follow you."
Yang Junshan nodded and said, "Then come with me!"
He returned to Xishan again with the thick soil puppet. This time Yang Junshan did not disturb anyone and said: "This is the foundation of my family. You can secretly station here on weekdays to protect my family."
The thick-earth puppet did not directly answer Yang Junshan's instructions. Instead, he looked up at the top of the Western Mountain and said, "There are terrible things there."
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "I have to return to the Immortal Palace. Fellow Taoist, you can stay here, but don't let others know your existence."
"rest assured!"
The Houtu Puppet said very little, and after thinking for a while he said, "Just call me old-fashioned."
Seeing Yang Junshan nod his head, Laotu sank his whole body towards the ground, and said with a hint of joy in his tone: "Large earth veins, very good!"
When Yang Junshan returned to the fairy palace, he saw the reception boy throwing mulberries into his mouth one by one and eating them out of boredom.
Yang Junshan looked at him and said, "Can puppets eat?"
The boy glanced at him and said, "Hey, you don't understand!"
"How many of you are there?"
"It's no good if you know!"
"If I get other Dao realm colorless crystals, can I continue to hire other people or extend the employment period of Old Tu?"
He paused at the mulberry that the boy was about to throw, and then said: "I suggest the latter, but it's best not to do that, and don't ask me why."
Yang Junshan nodded and left, heading towards the oven room in Nantianmen——
In an unknown place deep in the boundless starry sky, only the dim starlight shining from an unknown distance can vaguely make out the outline of everything around. Several starry meteorites of different sizes are silently
The suspension is here.
Suddenly, a purple cloud flag suddenly appeared here, and then the cloud flag was seen shaking in the void, and a cloud suddenly emerged from the flag, and then like a giant hand, it was pushed violently.
Landing on top of a starry sky boulder that was probably more than ten miles in diameter, the huge boulder suddenly began to slowly roll and fly forward, and the speed became faster and faster, and the tumbling became more and more rapid.
The cloud flag did not stop after pushing a boulder, but continued to shake, and several pieces of cloud appeared one after another until it pushed the starry sky boulders here one by one and rolled away towards the distant starry sky.
A jade hand stretched out from the void and grabbed the cloud banner. Taoist Ziyuan appeared in the depths of the starry sky and said, "How many waves is this already?"
"It's still far away, let's go to the next place!" Taoist Dongliu's voice suddenly sounded in the void, but his figure did not appear.
"The direction of these boulders cannot be accurately guaranteed at all!" Taoist Ziyuan said again.
Dongliu Taoist said: "This is more like an unexpected meteor shower, isn't it?"
"Do you know something?"
Taoist Dongliu said calmly: "Someone has already died. Do you think the people in the Immortal Palace can really feel free to let us go and let us go?"
Taoist Ziyuan felt a chill in his heart. The weak starlight in the sky jumped slightly, and Taoist Ziyuan had disappeared.
